I thought they would be in perfect proportion to hold some bottle brush Christmas trees (approx 3.4 inches) that I already had, taking off the wooden base ........
...... gluing the remaining metal spike into the holders that I'd filled with Hobbycraft Superlight, air drying clay ......
...... before leaving the clay and glue to dry overnight.
I put a strip of red and white gingham, self adhesive, fabric tape round the candleholder to give it an extra Christmassy feel.
......... wrapping it around the tree, poking it in between the branches and then trimming it a little closer to the tree.
..... adding tiny, red plastic, nail art bows (Temu, 100 pieces for 84p), again in perfect proportion to the tree.
I used B-7000 glue to stick them on, along with an assortment of various sized and coloured, flat back gems. I won't pretend that it wasn't pretty fiddly, but I got there in the end.
